The copying/tribute just adds a bit of fantasy to a very well written series. Also i know as many adults who love the books as children.

They were an excuse to get yourself on the forum. You wound me up so I got you back. What is a G-ma? Is it anything to do with weighing sheep? PS I was foolishly watching Withnail and I for the eightieth time the other night and it suddenly struck me that it was a complete rip off of The Hobbit.... </p> |

Guys, if you disagree with this, fine. But I think Harry Potter sucks. Plain and simple. 'Nuff Said. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

It's all in good fun...
A key difference between Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings is that they are on entirely different scales.
For example, Sauron nearly took over the world twice and posed a threat to great kings and powerful immortals alike. Whereas Voldemort tried to take over a highschool and failed ![]()

A very good friend of mine recently pointed out another crucial difference - that of genre. LOTR is true medieval fantasy, it's pretty much an archetype. But HP only masquerades as fantasy; it is, in fact, a mystery series. If you think about it, each book has its own primary and secondary mysteries which the reader solves along with the heroes, with some percolating threads linking up to the Grand Mystery. And everything else is built around solving those mysteries.

Yes, that is so.
As much fun as I might have lambasting Harry Potter as compared to The Lord of the Rings, it really isn't fair. They are not "peers". Edit: I should also note that I have only seen the Harry Potter movies, and I have not read the books, making it even more unfair.
